Is tablet market share really decreasing? For casual users (like my mum) she has bought an iPad and no longer even turns on her PC/laptop, let alone thinks about getting another one.
I thought this was the case with most "casual" PC users who only used it for email and Internet shopping. My wife fits this category, who will never use my laptop, ever. She even does basic spreadsheeting activities on the iPad with Google Sheets.
Are tablets really sat around gathering dust?
- diminish 12y agoI m monitoring several million MAU websites.. Smart phones are growing at the expense of tablets too. Especially the consensus on larger screen sizes boosted phone usage and cuts into tablet share.
- 72deluxe 12y agoAh OK thanks. I suppose the division between smart phone and tablet is disappearing a bit after the "phablet" revolution. I still have distinctly different sized devices for phone and tablet; that would explain my confusion. Thanks.
- bad_user 12y agoSampling my own experience, both my mom and my dad are using laptops, even though both of them are as technically illiterate as they come, plus they don't even speak English. Both of them tried tablets, but it didn't work out - I don't know why, I wasn't besides them to notice. Your point is that casual PC users only need a PC for email and Internet shopping and things like that and that they would be better served by a tablet. My point of view is that this assertion isn't necessarily true.
